Key Features and Benefits

HPE GreenLake for Block Storage is a cloud data service-offered on the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform-that simplifies on-prem storage management with the speed and agility of a cloud operational experience. It provides cloud-like self-service ordering, provisioning, and management that abstracts and automates underlying storage infrastructure complexity, shifting operations to be app, and not infrastructure-centric. And it delivers on-premises storage consumed as a service, meeting any workload SLA with the right resilience (including a 100% availability guarantee for mission-critical apps), performance, and cost.

The core feature set includes:

- Instant, self-service quoting and ordering

- All block lifecycle management (volume provisioning, protection policies, volume update, delete, and grow)

- Intent based provisioning of application data with recommendation of headroom availability, which indicates the relative ability of a storage system to support a proposed workload without experiencing performance degradation. Furthermore, with a remote protection policy for the volumes, recommendations are based on headroom availability in the source and partner systems.

- Inventory dash boarding (capacity details/trends, performance details/trends, alerts, protection levels)

- Replication and Management of restore points (replication configuration and restore point management: restore, sync, promote/demote, export/un-export, delete)

- Customize columns in table view for volume inventory

- Create volumes without exporting to a host group

- Customize LUN ID while creating volumes

- View host paths information in host detail page

- Reporting (performance reporting, capacity reporting, alert reporting, audit logging, task status)

- Create and manage volume clones

- Virtual lock support for Mission Critical Tier

- Enhanced reporting capabilities for Mission Critical Tier

Two new charts have been added to trend I/O Size and Queue Length
Pre-defined templates are available for top volume paths by read latency, top volume sets by read IOPS, top host ports by write throughput.
Customize views by resource type for volumes, volume sets, host ports and hosts with Top-6 or Select-10 with sorting by metric.
View and compare performance metrics across remote copy links using the custom reports
Reports can be downloaded as CSV or PDF

- Enhanced reporting capabilities for Business Critical and General Purpose Tier:

Three charts available to show IOPS, throughput and latency trends for Volume(s) and Pool(s).
Two predefined templates have been added: Top volume by read latency and write latency that can be customized by resource type for volumes with Top-6 sorting by metric or Select-10 and for Pools with Select-10.
Reports can be downloaded as CSV or PDF

- Extended reporting that helps analyse and troubleshoot performance issues of a storage system and its volumes:

Headroom utilization with analysis breakdown by Top-5 volume contribution available for Mission Critical Tier.
